| Description |
English: A U.S. Navy Douglas AD-4B Skyraider from Attack Squadron 75 (VA-75) "Sunday Punchers", piloted by LTJG Jim Elster, ready for launch from the Canadian aircraft carrier HMCS Magnificent (CVL 21), after the so-called "Mariner Miracle", in September 1953. The carriers USS Wasp (CVA-18), USS Bennington (AVA-20) and HMCS Magnificent (CVL 21) conducted the exercise "Mariner" in the North Atlantic. On the afternoon of 23 September 1953, with 42 planes aloft, the carriers were completely sogged in by fog. After Vice Admiral T.S. Combs and Rear Admiral H.H. Goodwin had ordered to ditch all planes near the submarine USS Redfin (SSR-272) at 1620 hrs, however, the fog lifted and all planes could be recovered safely with only minimum fuel remaining. VA-75 was assigned to Carrier Air Group 7 (CVG-7) aboard the Bennington for a deployment to the North Atlantic and the Indian Ocean from 16 September 1953 to 21 February 1954. |
